The jackets were $20 each and the finished item weighs 18.5 oz. with the suspension. I have successfully used this down to 40* overnight inside my hammock sock. I like this because it gives me two wearable vests that serve a double-purpose in my kit.

Okay then, just got done ripping the seams so I can put my UQ together and I gotta say, I don't envy you guys doing more than two. That is, If you had the seams I have, jeez, what a pain and it took me about 3 hours per jacket. The seams were stitched together and capped with a small strip of the same material. Ended up basically ripping every seam twice! Seems some others lucked out with the seams just stitched without the cap. Lucky!

You can slice the each cap down the center then just rip the primary seam.

yeah, I realized that would have probably worked after the fact... I'll be sure to try it that way the next time I decide to do that much seam ripping... Ugh! :P Good thing is, the Puffer UQ is assembled, just need to put seams to clean up the bottom and top edges and then, of course, the suspension. Don't use the thread injector very often so it takes a little bit of trial and error before my lines straighten up.
